Abstract
Resocialization of juveniles is aimed at shaping anew in socially maladjusted persons a system of moral norms and proper rules of conduct accepted in society. The purpose of the research within the framework of this article was to evaluate the model of juvenile resocialization currently in force in Poland in a closed environment as a variation of institutional resocialization, especially in the context of its effectiveness. Both the relevant regulations contained in the Law on the Support and Re-socialization of Minors were analyzed, a selected body of literature on the subject relating to the problems of the re-socialization of minors, taking into account re-socialization in conditions of social isolation, was presented and discussed, as well as the results of scientific research and inspections by the Supreme Chamber of Control in the indicated research area. On this basis, an assessment was made of the current model of the rehabilitation of minors in Poland in a closed environment, especially in the perspective of its effectiveness in achieving the goals of rehabilitation. On this basis, the author presented the view of the necessity of functioning in the modern realities of the rehabilitation of minors in the conditions of social isolation as an adequate response to the behavior of the most demoralized group of minors and, at the same time, pointed out the necessity of developing specific legal regulations that will effectively include the family in the process of rehabilitation of minors residing in correctional institutions, district assistance centers and youth assistance centers, which is emphasized by the legislator in the preamble to the Act on support and rehabilitation of minors indicating the role of the family in the educational process. This article should contribute to a better understanding of the essence of the model of rehabilitation in a closed environment and will add to the current body of literature with regard to evaluating the operation and effectiveness of this model under current legislation.
